"McGraw and Fer combine to make one magical americana album [Seed of a Pine]...I could talk about all of the songs...until the cows come home. Honestly this is one of those...albums which 'had me at hello.' If you're a fan of modern folk and americana, you can't go wrong with Seed of a Pine."

-Seattle Post Intelligencer - BlogCritics.org


"...With lyrics as candid as Josh Ritter('s), McGraw's vocals dance over tight guitar riffs and up-tempo rhythms, informed by his past as a percussionist. His voice is at once familiar and refreshing..."

-Jackson Hole Weekly News (Wyoming)


"The music alone is good, but it's even better in concert with McGraw's thoughtful, well crafted and softly sung lyrics. McGraw sings of common themes, but in a way that is equally romantic and no-nonsense. Blue-eyed girls, whistling thrushes, night skies, trucks and junipers populate McGraw's tunes, weaving a believable, listenable—and somehow distinctly Western—narrative. And when he sings about a life that "makes you want to meet a nice girl, go home and call it good," you believe not only him, but also that such a life exists, somewhere, out here in the West."

-Missoula Independent (Montana)


"McGraw's voice is soft, sweet, and airy and somehow reminiscent of cool mesa breezes..."

-Phoenix New Times (Arizona)


"...talented folksters, clever Americana."

Santa Fe Reporter (New Mexico)


"Dave's music is heartfelt, spiritually rich and endlessly wise...music of the sort that can enrapture anyone who takes the time to really listen."

blackmagicplastic (San Francisco, California)


“McGraw’s latest offering, Coyotes Came Around, is full of catchy tracks that are also full of surprises. All of these songs, though, are built on strong folk foundations to create a blending of sounds that fits the true definition of Americana.”

-Fifty Cent Lighter & a Whiskey Buzz
(Tennessee)


"...suberb music inspired by the natural world."

-Flag Live! (Flagstaff, Arizona)


“…you can feel the pulse of the wheels on the road as McGraw takes you on an acoustic road trip…a recognition and rejoicing in of the simplification of life that traveling mandates…some lovely music.”

- What’s Up Magazine
(Bellingham, Washington)


“Dave has a unique style of fast paced rhythmic guitar combined with beautiful, deep, thought provoking lyrics that kept the full bar enthralled.”
